Hi, everyone!
I ordered Boston 1700 thanks to all advises on this forum.
But before installing it I would like to remodel my fireplace.
Please, don't judge me hard because I am complete newbie
As you can see from pictures there is installed stone Sanibel Coastal Reef.
I have few questions and will be very grateful of any suggestions or recommendations:
1) Can I install Stacked Stone over existing and what mortar should I use to prevent failure?
2) I am going to leave white colored frame, so how I should install Stacked Stone over framework/insulation area (see pictures) and how I should prepare this area to accept Stacked Stone?
Thank you in advance for all your help.
